I wish I could sing so I could join the choir. I wish I was OK with being in front of people so I could be an Assisting Minister. I wish I could look into a crystal ball and see what Zion’s income will be in 2017. And I bet the members of the Stewardship and Finance Committees wish the same thing.
Imagine trying to plan your family’s budget without having a fairly firm idea of what your income was going to be. When we make a pledge to Zion, to commit to what we plan to give in the coming year we give the Finance Committee some hard numbers to work with. When the Stewardship Committee has to gaze into the crystal ball to try and figure out what Zion’s non-pledged income will be, things become fuzzy.
Pledging… It’s good thing.
